People's Bible Notes for Romans 5:5

Ro 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed. A hope disappointed would fill with shame, but that we will not be put to shame is shown by the fact that the love of God is shed abroad, diffused in our hearts, by means of his Spirit given us. This may mean that our hearts are filled with the love of God; or it may mean that our hearts are conscious of the love of God. What follows seems to point to the second meaning.

This verse Romans 5 5 goes together with Isaiah 40 29 31, thou in our nature we easily give up but if we have HOPE we will be able to wait till He renews our strength and Gavin you are walking in JESUS ' Name. Amen

I believe this verse is speaking to me directly. I was in a terrible accident that left me paralyzed from the ribs down. I celebrated three years of recocery three days ago and i'm filled with the Holy Spirit today. I used to be sad, now i'm truly happy with my life because i accept Jesus as my savior. The hope I have to walk is now genuine, for I know I will be blessed by the Lord and will walk today in the name of Jesus!!!!!

Romans 5:5 Hope will never disappoint or shame us, because God's love is in our hearts and that is established by the giving the Holy Spirit to us. You see if we have God in our lives and truly seek him first, we have guidance, hope and faith. Things hope for are things not yet seen. FAITH is by Christ dying for the ungodly, he gave hope to all mankind that fall short of the glory of God, and we all fall short! So having Hope in God's glory will never shame us and having been instructed to do all things for the GLORY OF GOD. That means that EVERYTHING we do we must do in HOPE, so that they are lives testimonies for God's glory and that there is Hope of everlasting life. That is how we grow spiritually!
